So a big campaign for people to switch off their electricity for an hour a week/month has apparently been very successful in Coventry. I’ve spoken to a guy about it and he seems very enthusiastic about bringing the campaign to Birmingham all in the aid of saving energy.
Should it really come down to needing to switch everything off for a period of time so that we’re saving energies, or should we be designing better energy saving techniques? Will the campaign work in Birmingham and have any of you heard of the campaign in Coventry…or anywhere else for that matter?
I’m not really sure what I think about it really. I can see that it would of course be saving energy if everybody in Birmingham switched everything off for an hour or so, but on the grand scale of things I can’t see it changing the world. I suppose this is me being cynical again and I suppose everything has to start somewhere.
